Sorrow and Joy at Christmas
On this Christmas day, we found out my cousin Jimmie passed away this morning after a brief battle with cancer. He is now with the Lord and his son Nate, no longer suffering as he watches over the rest of his family.
Love you, Jim! We will miss you!
In honor of Christmas and family, I'd like to share with you a couple of recent photos that reminded me to be so very thankful for what I have.
Becky, Bridgette, Nikki, Dawn and meEvery year we have a cookie bake with my two sisters (Becky and Bridgette) and my two cousins (Nik and Dawn). We have a great time every year and bake a crazy amount of cookies. This year marked our 12th annual Cookie Bake. My favorite part was finishing early and visiting until 2am.
We woke up to a foggy haze along the ground Christmas Eve morning and as I was getting the fruit tray ready to take to my sister Becky's house for the day, a glance out the kitchen window left me in awe. The 'speck' on the right third of the picture (above the '4' in the date) is actually the top of some trees about a 1/4-1/3 mile down the road.
We couldn't get the kids away from the cousins long enough for a family picture (and they'd had enough of them in Colorado this summer), but my mom did get this one of me and Wayne.
I have many other things to be thankful for, but not so many pictures, so I hold the others in my heart.
My wish for you is a very Merry Christmas with loved ones, family and friends alike.
Take care and we'll see you in the New Year!
